Grounded in Fact

Our lives depend upon millions of products derived from #oil & #gas. So let’s keep energy discussions #GroundedinFact.

"Drivers don’t want to change, yet, because #EVs cost significantly more and because they can only drive about half as far as a gasoline-powered car before needing to refuel (which takes longer)." https://t.co/ximLaIisME

"NatGas is essential to modern life ... From energy-intensive manufacturers – like steelmaking – to plastics production, pharmaceuticals, and the fertilizers essential to our nation’s food supply, natural gas fuels manufacturing." https://t.co/TNbZ20MLDg

Energy Sec. Dan Brouillette said the government must deal with what he called threats to energy delivery. “Due to one state’s extremist policies the entire New England region is cut off from receiving cheaper American natural gas.” https://t.co/NbwDkAHKEJ

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

“By funneling affordable energy to American consumers, #pipelines make us less reliant on foreign sources…With policies that encourage more energy production at home, we can weather the storm and avoid crippling gas lines.” https://t.co/t4HNAzsm0L

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"The inconvenient truth is that affordable energy and petrochemicals are the foundation of countless everyday consumer items that improve the quality of life for people across the world." https://t.co/QvQyRO10d3

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"If consumers believe it’s in their best interests to drive an #EV, they have a dozen options to choose from. But it’s time for Congress to ... end the EV handouts that distort the market and end up in the pockets of those who least need them." https://t.co/dLKETaKBb5

"The oil and gas companies that student activists want to punish [through divestment] are the same ones that have powered social and economic progress." https://t.co/QvQyRO10d3 $

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

Attorneys general from 18 states are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to allow construction of the Atlantic Coast #Pipeline to continue. https://t.co/9OWUpaBdCh

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"Multinational automakers are investing huge sums into the development of #EVs, but it appears American consumers are far less open to the new technology than their counterparts in other major markets." https://t.co/oKJ5yvPeYO

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"For consumers in NY, Massachusetts, and other states that continue to block new #pipeline construction, the result is higher energy prices, less reliable power grids, and reduced cost-competitiveness for local industries relative to other states." https://t.co/h4btIPtAEy

ICYMI “Climate scientists and energy economists say [Sen. Sanders’] plan is technically impractical, politically unfeasible, and possibly ineffective.” https://t.co/kKArqfsC6N

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"The inevitable result of eliminating all greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 would be a breakdown of industrialized economies. For Extinction Rebellion’s activists, that would be a worthy end." https://t.co/vEfJd9CctT

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

“If we stopped producing fossil fuels today we would all die. We wouldn’t have food. We wouldn’t have transportation. We wouldn’t have heat. We wouldn’t have air conditioning. We wouldn’t have clothes.” -- Yale’s Chief Investment Officer David Swensen https://t.co/cQBmQSbGdB

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

“In general, expanded US production [of crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas] renders global supply to be more responsive, and, as a result, carries an energy security benefit to consumers at home and abroad.” https://t.co/UNKFho7VCR

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"Rather than find ways to go forward to a better future, the advocates of the Green New Deal prefer to hold us back. Rather than working out how the world can become more prosperous they insist that we must make do with less." https://t.co/R41uhmD5Is

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"Nearly 80% of the $7,500 federal tax credit for #EVs goes to families earning more than $100,000. Those subsidies are directly funded by taxpayers – meaning hardworking Kansans are footing the bill every time a wealthy Californian [buys] a new EV." https://t.co/3scfTRg81g

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"Environmentalists have opposed plans for the tunnel and want the line decommissioned as soon as possible, but some labor groups want the tunnel built. In the middle are Democratic lawmakers who usually have support from both sets of interests." https://t.co/0tHzk7oI8t

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

Since gasoline cars are already very efficient, “the projected reduction in CO2 emissions [from EVs]… will have no measurable impact on climate and, hence, no economic value.” -- @ManhattanInst https://t.co/WTv9c5hy7b

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"In the decade I’ve been covering the auto industry, I’ve never seen a bigger mismatch between expectations for #EVs and market realities…That EV sales growth has been so weak relative to expectations means people fundamentally don’t want the cars." https://t.co/4FR9rXAkxf

[Grounded in Fact @GroundedinFact]

"The proposed #pipeline is obviously safe; it’s to run right next to an existing pipeline that’s done zero harm. The supposed environmental fears blocking it are nothing but a pretext, allowing Cuomo to pander to green extremists."
